Burnin' And Lootin' Lyrics - Gold - Bob Marley & The Wailers

This morning I woke up in a curfew 

O God, I was a prisoner, too - yeah! 

Could not recognize the faces standing over me 

They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality. Eh! 

How many rivers do we have to cross 

Before we can talk to the boss? Eh! 

All that we got, it seems we have lost 

We must have really paid the cost 

(That's why we gonna be) 

Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight 

(Say we gonna burn and loot) 

Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight 

(One more thing) 

Burnin' all pollution tonight 

(Oh, yeah, yeah) 

Burnin' all illusion tonight

Oh, stop them! 

Give me the food and let me grow 

Let the Roots Man take a blow 

All them drugs gonna make you slow now 

It's not the music of the ghetto. Eh! 

Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight 

(Ooh, can't stop the tears!) 

Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight 

(We've been suffering these long, long-a years) 

Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight 

(Will you say cheer?) 

Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight 

(But where?)

Give me the food and let me grow 

Let the roots man take a blow 

All them drugs gonna make you slow 

It's not the music of the ghetto 

We gonna be burnin' and a-lootin' tonight 

(To survive, yeah!) 

Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight 

(Save your babies' lives) 

Burning all pollution tonight 

(Pollution ... ) 

Burning all illusion tonight 

(Lord-a, Lord-a, Lord-a, Lord!) 

Burning and a-looting tonight 

Burning and a-looting tonight 

Burning all pollution tonight
